material used in making barrels aud the
flames spread rapidly. An extra engine
was sent from this city but nearly all the

from $3.50 900 to $4,000 The business OF
the Anchor Manufacturing Company is the

A BATTLE WITH THE UTEs.-As stated in Sat-
urday's GAZETTE, there has been sharp fighting
between Sheriff KendalPs posse, largely composed
Of the cowboy element, and the Utes under Colo
row. It is difficult to get at the precise facts
which led to the outbreak, but the origin of it
arose from the attempt of Sheriff Kendall to serve
warrant on two Ute Indians who were charged
with stealing horses, and who resisted arrest
There were hopes that the matter would admit Of
a peaceful settlement, but while Gov. Adams was
on his way to meet Gen. Crook, who had been
deputed to assist at % conference with Colorow, il
appears that Kendall had encountered tho Utes
in a canon between the mountains and that des-
perate fight had ensued, which resulted III killing
one man of Kendall's force and wounding four
othcrs-onc Of the latter MORALLY. Several In
dams are reported to have also been killed. After
the fight had been kept up in desultory way I'M
til late in the night the Indians are said to have
reiterated into tho timber Colorow is reported
to have with him seven hundred men.

Before it was scarcely daylight Young rode
quietly up to the Haynes residence and
halted directly under the chamber window
Of his lady. In moment or two she was
on the horse be had brought for her, having
como down rope from the second story
where she slept. Young found they had but
forty minutes to catch the train and the sta
ton nearly twelve miles away. To miss the
train would be their last chance that day
and, perhaps, for some time. After getting
away from the house they let their animals
across the country. Up hill and down they
went. Farmers just getting up saw the spec
tacle in amusement and wondered what it
waa They reached the station just as the
train was pulling in. and, leaving their jaded
horses covered with foam, they boarded
the train, went to Gsllipolis, Ohio, and were
married. They have returned, and sought
refuge at neighbours.

DEsPoTIC, MoNARCHIcAL and aristocfa'c
governments may exist without, or in deli
ance of, law; but the life Of democratic
government, like the liberty of poor man,
